American professional boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has an estimated net worth of $565 million. Perhaps the best boxer of this era and without question the most talented, Floyd “Money” Mayweather has shown an unprecedented mix of speed, power, and natural instincts every time he steps into the ring—a combination that has already translated to six boxing championships in five different weight classes: Super Featherweight, Lightweight, Junior Welterweight, Welterweight twice and Super Welterweight. His professional boxing record is an astonishing 50 wins (27 knockouts) and 0 loss, with the win against mixed martial artist Conor McGregor of the UFC. In 2012 and 2013, he topped the 50 highest paid athletes lists of Forbes and Sports Illustrated. In 2014, he was listed again by Forbes as the world’s highest-paid athlete.
Despite all the fortune he has potentially made through his boxing successes, Floyd is not as financially stable as you may think. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) says that the Grand Rapids-native owes nearly $30 million in back taxes for 2010 and 2015 tax years. Soon after he was sued by a Florida real estate developer who claimed Mayweather backed out of the purchase of an $8.5 million house, he allegedly owed the first installment of $1.7 million.
Just a few months later, $7.1 million worth of jewelry was stolen from his home. In September 2009, he was sued by JP Morgan for failing to make the payment on a $528,000 Mercedes Maybach 57S. He borrowed $415,000 at an annual interest rate of 16% in order to pay for the car, but he reportedly has not made the $9000 monthly payment in over a year. Floyd Joy Mayweather, Jr. was born on February 24, 1977, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
